Dan, I don't think Wayne's coming. He's fitting a chartplotter on Saturday, but I think he's leaving Levington on Sunday for the Southend air show. This is all getting too complicated for me - I'm a man, I can't cope with two cruises at the same time

Don't worry Phil i'll be there Saturday i'll work through the Friday night to get it done if I have to, I'm not going to miss out on a good day's cruising.Plotter should be in tomorrow so i'll start ripping out my current gear tomorrow night, fit the new plotter on thursday night,Refit jockey seat Friday night and then i'll be ready for Saturday. SORTED

And here are some piccies of our very enjoyable Suffolk rivers cruise. Local boy WAYNE (caps lock) ROGERS led proceedings in his very smart Valiant Patrol 5.2m and was accompanied by his mate Peter in his 5.5m RIB (can't remember the make but it's of South African origin!), DanielTD5 with Bill and Bethany in their Valiant and me in the Searider.

Leaving Levington marina on the Orwell before heading out past Felixstowe docks and into the North Sea before altering course towards the River Deben.
